Have you ever found yourself walking through Ikea and suddenly you’ve plonked yourself on a couch? It’s partly because your legs are sore, but the other reason is that they make everything look so homey and inviting. How does Ikea get this look? It’s all in the details. They’ve got little plants here, a coffee cup there and books strategically scattered everywhere. We bet you’ve picked up one of those books to read only to discover it’s in Swedish.
The fact you can’t read the book fits in well with the whole coffee table book concept; just sit there and look pretty. But, what’s the point in that? A book can sit there, look pretty and still be worth the read. So, here are five books perfect for the coffee table that won’t catch you out when someone asks you about it.
How to Be Parisian: Wherever You Are
French women. They’re so mysterious. Their look is alway on point, they have no trouble eating croissants every day, and they’re always oozing with confidence. It’s time to figure out how they do it! Not only does this book add a little style to your living room, but it’s the perfect illustrated handbook filled with witty stories that will guide you through French style, culture, beauty and most importantly, attitude.
The Magical Journey

Talking as Fast as I Can
Haven’t we all wanted to be a Gilmore Girl? The ability to guzzle large amounts of coffee without getting high on caffeine.

It’s time to shed that mental clutter and adopt that #sorrynotsorry attitude, get your priorities in order and figure out how to not give a f*ck.
The Little Book of Hygge
What does Hygge even mean? We’re told it’s the feeling you get when you cuddle up on the couch on a cold stormy day with the fireplace crackling and hot cup of tea brewing. How do we get this feeling? Well, start learning from the Danish for starters. Denmark is the happiest nation in the world so, why don’t we take a leaf out of this book and find out how we can become more hygge?
